@madmax said in Wish to open dialgue - Why mod-patch keeps getting dropped?:

w in your mod came

That guide is really helpful, many thanks - I was stuck on hooking the specific 'parts' of the broken units and I admittedly resorted to using the whole unit defs as a result.
With the guide you posted I'll be able to just hook the specific lines that are affected (And the fixes are simply one-liners)

(The ones that need fixing) Simply fall into these categories [Fire but do no damage][Dont fire][Fire but something is seriously wrong] (Just for your curiosity)
If you're in active contact with the modders & my previous uploads are accessible to yourself; please feel free to grab the description notes and pass them on. It'll help the modders debug what is going on with their code.

I'm a modder - not a gifted one, but you can call me a talented, diligent fan.
I've been trying to put together a cluster of mod-pack patches into a single mod. And over the past few days have been seeing it disappearing day-after-day.
Naturally - I've also been anticipating a "notification" IN ANY FORM as to why my modpack has been removed.
[to cover bases - I've been checking the following: Email, Forum Notifications, FAF Client Notifications, Carrier Pidgeons, Semaphore, "The Beacons of Minas Tirith"] and nothing has come through!!!

I want the reader of this to understand that I'm with-the-community-for-the-community in what I do; so will contribute positively; hence my desire for open dialogue - But happy to accept 'acceptance' in my goal.

I draw the line at 'abandoned mods' (since modding is a spare time activity, modders tend to 'move-on') So if a modder "Doesn't fix there stuff", then I see it as fair-game to do it myself in the form of a supplementary patch-mod (which doesnt edit the original files).
So the crux of it is: Why does my patch mod get dropped without notification?

I'm getting the same error trying to upload a mod: 422 Unprocessable Entity from POST https://api.faforever.com/mods/upload
I've gone over my files and theres nothing but LUA files.

One thing i notice is the UID is coming up as null; although it has a "freshly generated, valid, unique, standard UID - from the UID generator that is linked from the modding wiki"
Could be a red-herring though, all the mods show UID null when i run them to the upload screen
